They fly by day, and feed on the nectar of various flowers.
They rest with their wings open and out flat.
In January in bright sunlight
in the morning hours, the adult moths are common
as singles and as mating pairs
in light rainforest on both gentle and steep hillsides,
in the area west of Cairns. They flutter fairly
slowly and range from ground level to the treetops.

They may be seen at ground level both resting and laying eggs.
The eggs are often laid in open groups of two dozen or so,
on plants adjacent to rather than on the foodplant.
The females moths have also been
observed laying their eggs on spiders webs near a foodplant,
or dead twigs, or on debris at the foot of a foodplant.
This appears to be a response to a defence
that some plants have developed against caterpillars.
These plants secrete a juice in response to an egg being laid on them.
The juice causes mould to grow which kills the egg.
